Research on Multi-Scale Feature Fusion Network Algorithm Based on Brain Tumor Medical Image Classification

Gliomas have the highest mortality rate of all brain tumors.Correctly classifying the glioma risk period can help doctors make reasonable treatment plans and improve patients’survival rates.This paper proposes a hierarchical multi-scale attention feature fusion medical image classification network(HMAC-Net),which effectively combines global features and local features.The network framework consists of three parallel layers:The global feature extraction layer,the local feature extraction layer,and the multi-scale feature fusion layer.A linear sparse attention mechanism is designed in the global feature extraction layer to reduce information redundancy.In the local feature extraction layer,a bilateral local attention mechanism is introduced to improve the extraction of relevant information between adjacent slices.In the multi-scale feature fusion layer,a channel fusion block combining convolutional attention mechanism and residual inverse multi-layer perceptron is proposed to prevent gradient disappearance and network degradation and improve feature representation capability.The double-branch iterative multi-scale classification block is used to improve the classification performance.On the brain glioma risk grading dataset,the results of the ablation experiment and comparison experiment show that the proposed HMAC-Net has the best performance in both qualitative analysis of heat maps and quantitative analysis of evaluation indicators.On the dataset of skin cancer classification,the generalization experiment results show that the proposed HMAC-Net has a good generalization effect.

Simplified Inception Module Based Hadamard Attention Mechanism for Medical Image Classification

Medical image classification has played an important role in the medical field, and the related method based on deep learning has become an important and powerful technique in medical image classification. In this article, we propose a simplified inception module based Hadamard attention (SI + HA) mechanism for medical image classification. Specifically, we propose a new attention mechanism: Hadamard attention mechanism. It improves the accuracy of medical image classification without greatly increasing the complexity of the model. Meanwhile, we adopt a simplified inception module to improve the utilization of parameters. We use two medical image datasets to prove the superiority of our proposed method. In the BreakHis dataset, the AUCs of our method can reach 98.74%, 98.38%, 98.61% and 97.67% under the magnification factors of 40×, 100×, 200× and 400×, respectively. The accuracies can reach 95.67%, 94.17%, 94.53% and 94.12% under the magnification factors of 40×, 100×, 200× and 400×, respectively. In the KIMIA Path 960 dataset, the AUCs and accuracy of our method can reach 99.91% and 99.03%. It is superior to the currently popular methods and can significantly improve the effectiveness of medical image classification.

Meta Ordinal Regression Forest for Medical Image Classification With Ordinal Labels

The performance of medical image classification has been enhanced by deep convolutional neural networks(CNNs),which are typically trained with cross-entropy(CE)loss.However,when the label presents an intrinsic ordinal property in nature,e.g.,the development from benign to malignant tumor,CE loss cannot take into account such ordinal information to allow for better generalization.To improve model generalization with ordinal information,we propose a novel meta ordinal regression forest(MORF)method for medical image classification with ordinal labels,which learns the ordinal relationship through the combination of convolutional neural network and differential forest in a meta-learning framework.The merits of the proposed MORF come from the following two components:A tree-wise weighting net(TWW-Net)and a grouped feature selection(GFS)module.First,the TWW-Net assigns each tree in the forest with a specific weight that is mapped from the classification loss of the corresponding tree.Hence,all the trees possess varying weights,which is helpful for alleviating the tree-wise prediction variance.Second,the GFS module enables a dynamic forest rather than a fixed one that was previously used,allowing for random feature perturbation.During training,we alternatively optimize the parameters of the CNN backbone and TWW-Net in the meta-learning framework through calculating the Hessian matrix.Experimental results on two medical image classification datasets with ordinal labels,i.e.,LIDC-IDRI and Breast Ultrasound datasets,demonstrate the superior performances of our MORF method over existing state-of-the-art methods.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and it develops in the colon region of large intestine.The histopathologist generally investigates the colon biopsy at the time of colonoscopy or surgery.Early detection of colorectal cancer is helpful to maintain the concept of accumulating cancer cells.In medical practices,histopathological investigation of tissue specimens generally takes place in a conventional way,whereas automated tools that use Artificial Intelligence(AI)techniques can produce effective results in disease detection performance.In this background,the current study presents an Automated AI-empowered Colorectal Cancer Detection and Classification(AAI-CCDC)technique.The proposed AAICCDC technique focuses on the examination of histopathological images to diagnose colorectal cancer.Initially,AAI-CCDC technique performs preprocessing in three levels such as gray scale transformation,Median Filtering(MF)-based noise removal,and contrast improvement.In addition,Nadam optimizer with EfficientNet model is also utilized to produce meaningful feature vectors.Furthermore,Glowworm Swarm Optimization(GSO)with Stacked Gated Recurrent Unit(SGRU)model is used for the detection and classification of colorectal cancer.The proposed AAI-CCDC technique was experimentally validated using benchmark dataset and the experimental results established the supremacy of the proposed AAI-CCDC technique over conventional approaches.

Mathematical Modelling of Quantum Kernel Method for Biomedical Data Analysis

This study presents a novelmethod to detect themedical application based on Quantum Computing(QC)and a few Machine Learning(ML)systems.QC has a primary advantage i.e.,it uses the impact of quantum parallelism to provide the consequences of prime factorization issue in a matter of seconds.So,this model is suggested for medical application only by recent researchers.A novel strategy i.e.,Quantum KernelMethod(QKM)is proposed in this paper for data prediction.In this QKM process,Linear Tunicate Swarm Algorithm(LTSA),the optimization technique is used to calculate the loss function initially and is aimed at medical data.The output of optimization is either 0 or 1 i.e.,odd or even in QC.From this output value,the data is identified according to the class.Meanwhile,the method also reduces time,saves cost and improves the efficiency by feature selection process i.e.,Filter method.After the features are extracted,QKM is deployed as a classification model,while the loss function is minimized by LTSA.The motivation of the minimal objective is to remain faster.However,some computations can be performed more efficiently by the proposed model.In testing,the test data was evaluated by minimal loss function.The outcomes were assessed in terms of accuracy,computational time,and so on.For this,databases like Lymphography,Dermatology,and Arrhythmia were used.

Impact of preprocessing on medical data classification

The significance of the preprocessing stage in any data mining task is well known. Before attempting medical data classification, characteristics of medical datasets, including noise, incompleteness, and the existence of multiple and possibly irrelevant features, need to be addressed. In this paper, we show that selecting the right combination of prepro- cessing methods has a considerable impact on the classification potential of a dataset. The preprocessing operations con- sidered include the discretization of numeric attributes, the selection of attribute subset（s）, and the handling of missing values. The classification is performed by an ant colony optimization algorithm as a case study. Experimental results on 25 real-world medical datasets show that a significant relative improvement in predictive accuracy, exceeding 60% in some cases, is obtained.

Strided Self-Supervised Low-Dose CT Denoising for Lung Nodule Classification

Lung nodule classification based on low-dose computed tomography(LDCT)images has attracted major attention thanks to the reduced radiation dose and its potential for early diagnosis of lung cancer from LDCT-based lung cancer screening.However,LDCT images suffer from severe noise,largely influencing the performance of lung nodule classification.Current methods combining denoising and classification tasks typically require the corresponding normal-dose CT(NDCT)images as the supervision for the denoising task,which is impractical in the context of clinical diagnosis using LDCT.To jointly train these two tasks in a unified framework without the NDCT images,this paper introduces a novel self-supervised method,termed strided Noise2Neighbors or SN2N,for blind medical image denoising and lung nodule classification,where the supervision is generated from noisy input images.More specifically,the proposed SN2N can construct the supervision infor-mation from its neighbors for LDCT denoising,which does not need NDCT images anymore.The proposed SN2N method enables joint training of LDCT denoising and lung nodule classification tasks by using self-supervised loss for denoising and cross-entropy loss for classification.Extensively experimental results on the Mayo LDCT dataset demonstrate that our SN2N achieves competitive performance compared with the supervised learning methods that have paired NDCT images as supervision.Moreover,our results on the LIDC-IDRI dataset show that the joint training of LDCT denoising and lung nodule classification significantly improves the performance of LDCT-based lung nodule classification.
